Mucormycosis is a rare, opportunistic fungal infection prevalent in the elderly, especially in patients with uncontrolled diabetes or a compromised immune system. However, the outbreak of the pandemic declared by the World Health Organization in late 2019 increased the incidence of mucormycosis cases in COVID-19 patients due to increased steroid usage that resulted in an immunocompromised state. The current report presents two cases of oral mucormycotic osteomyelitis in patients who developed diabetes post-COVID infection, along with a review and relevant literature.
毛霉菌病是一种罕见的机会性真菌感染，在老年人中较为普遍，尤其是在糖尿病控制不佳或免疫系统受损的患者中。然而，世界卫生组织于2019年末宣布的大流行爆发，由于类固醇使用增加导致免疫功能低下状态，增加了COVID-19患者中毛霉菌病病例的发病率。本报告介绍了两例COVID感染后患上糖尿病的患者发生口腔毛霉菌性骨髓炎的病例，并对相关文献进行了综述。
